✦ Synopsis

The growing interest in prepositions is reflected by this collection of papers from leading scholars of various fields. The selected contributions of prepositions in their syntactic, semantic and pragmatic context focus on the local and temporal semantics of prepositions in relation to their context, too. Following an introduction which puts this new approach into a thematical and historical perspective, the volume presents 15 studies in the following areas: the semantics of space dynamics (mainly on French prepositions); language acquisition (aphasia and code-switching); artificial intelligence (mainly of English prepositions); specific languages: Hebrew (from a number of perspectives - syntax, semiotics, and sociolinguistic impact on morphology), Maltese, the Melanesian English-based Creole Bislama, and Biblical translations into Judeo-Greek.
